Small Faces Album Sampler
One Sided Single Promo
Excerpts from the Small Faces L.P. (mono)

The original 7-inch vinyl was issued as a promotional single for the debut Immediate album. Featuring excepts from ‘Get Yourself Together’, ‘Green Circles’, ‘Talk To You’, ‘All Our Yesterdays’, ‘Up The Wooden Hills To Bedfordshire’ with DJ Tommy Vance announcements, the original vinyl has gone on to become the rarest Small Faces single amongst collectors.

Here Come The Nice French EP
This is the same performance as the regular ‘Here Come The Nice’ mixed to mono but similar to other releases at the time, was subjected to varispeed so plays slightly faster.

‘Mystery…’
Replica Acetate
As this was intended to be a single, a handful of acetates were produced for the band and Andrew Loog Oldham to check the mix. For whatever reason, the single never happened and Ronnie went back into Olympic to record a new vocal during April 1967 for the newly entitled ‘Something I Want To Tell You’. This is a replica of the acetate delivered to Andrew Loog Oldham back in 1967.
